Im Confused...

I’m confused...

Just got the french version of VK Memories and somehow, when Ren is introduced, she is definitely said to be the half-sister of Ai.  My world just crashed down, I always thought Ren was a boy, somehow XDXD

I just hope the official editors of the manga didn’t make a mistake on his/her gender XD

Lovin your vampire knoght aesthetic! ❤❤❤

Awn thank you anon, you’re so sweet ! :)

Small Introduction to Vampire Knight

Vampire Knight is a series created by Matsuri Hino, quite popular in the shoujo category of mangas. This is the story of a young girl, Yuuki, who appears to have amnesia and doesn’t remember what happens before her sixth anniversary. She was rescued by Kaname, a Pureblood who seems to be very attached to her. They live in a Academy which happens to be a whole risky project  : Trying to make Vampires and Humans interact and live with each other peacefully. While Yuuki is trying to make her mind yp upon the fact that Kaname is unreachable to her, -being a mere human and him a pureblood-, she has to deal with her  adopted brother, Zero, a Hunter who seems to feed an unfixable hate towards vampires.  However, the peace will not last long, and the love triangle will fall into darkness...

Pureblood Vampires

I should probably make a post about the Vampire Race, all Levels included before this one, but... hey, I like Purebloods :) Might be spoilers if you didn”t read the manga. Or finished Season 1. If you find out an information is incorrect, please do leave a note :) The Pureblood Vampires don’t have a single human blood in their system. About 7 Pureblood families are left at its date. We know that Vampires appeared 10 millenials ago, even if they were born of human beings. We may suppose vampires were a new evolution of humans, able to survive to more threats, since Hino-sensei informed us that by the time the vampires appeared, the whole mankind was seriously endangered (Everyone read Darwin’s Evolution Theory, right ? :) )

However, Vampires quickly became a threat for Humans, as they found out pretty fast that they were stronger, and heal faster than them. And that they were able to turn Human into their kind, turning them into some kind of slaves/servants. This became quickly a big concern for a few of wiser Vampire, who tried to find out what could possibly harm and kill such a powerful creature. Among them, Kaname Kuran and the Hooded woman. In the end, The Hooded Woman sacrificied herself into a furnace, to allow Humans to make weapons powerful enough to kill Vampires. They became the Hunters.  Now that it’s stated that all first vampires were Pureblood, and they were quite a bunch of them at the beginning, the number started to dicrease over the time. The main reason being the relationship and marriage with humans, making their descendants no longer “pure”. As said before, there are 7 remaining Pureblood Families, making the incest marriage quite common, in purpose of keeping the lineage pure. 

Talking about their powers.... well, they have a infinity of possibilities. They can’t die naturally. I mean, the first Kaname Kuran was put into an eternal slumber, but his body successfully resisted to 10000 years, give or take. They control the other vampires, except other Purebloods. They have a lot of different powers, but it seems that each family have a privileged field of power. They, of course, can turn humans into vampires, and actually can help them to not get down to Level E. Taking a Level A’s blood brings a lot of powers to an ordinary vampire, and a Pureblood taking the life of another of his level can absord his power. They possess the ability to turn into a familier ( they become animals. Kaname can turn into a wolf and bats, Yuuki is a butterfly, Sara was a spider... ). A few of them displayed the ability to possess someone else’s body, even though it was always the one’s of their relatives ( e.g: Maria Kunerai and Shizuka Hio, Rido Kuran and Senri Shiki). They can only be killed if we manage to hit the head of the heart of the Pureblood with a anti vampire weapon. When they died, they don’t turn into ashes, like common vampires, but into crystal. They have the ability to erase memories, like all vampires. Last but not least, they can turn a pureblood into a human, at the cost of their life.

The most powerful is the Kuran clan.  Well, at least, they were the ones being the kings and queens of Vampires. We can imagine the dynasty began with Kaname the Ancestor and ended when Juuri’s, Haruka’s and Rido’s father decided to lend the power to the Senate. A few millenials, really. As for their powers, they seems to privilege the blood manipulating field. Like, Yuuki has wings made of blood, Rido can turn them into mobile chains, and his  half-pureblood son Senri use a blood whip. They seems to be able to wield anti vampire weapons, which is pretty rare. Family Pureblood members known: Kaname the Ancestor, Kaname II, Juuri, Rido, Haruka, their father, Yuuki, Ai.  Next is the Shirabuki family, which provided us the final villain of the series: Sara. She stated to be older than Kaname. Her familiar is a spider, and she is a kind of expert in manipulation. We know that her main goal was to become Queen. Why ? Because she didn’t want to finish like Shizuka Hio and the Kuran royal couple. To be sick of those millenias of boredom that awaits every single Pureblood. At some times in the manga, it is said that her parents died, taking their own life. But it is implicitely stated that Sara was the one who killed them. Adds to her record the murder of Lord Ori, her Pureblood fiancée.  Deepening into personal informations, it is said in “Fleeting Dreams” that she fell in love with a young Asato Ichijo. But he aged much quicker than her. Maybe another reason to why she kept Takuma close to her ? Who knows.  Members known: Sara, and her Parents. 

The Shoto family only displayed one member : Isaya Shoto. He seemed to be a good friend of Kaien Cross, and to be an ally of Kaname Kuran in his quest. He is 2000 years old, and had a wife once. She gave her life to transform their children into humans, and they died a few decades after that. Isaya was alone back then. It is stated that he only woke up recently when Yuuki meets him.  Members known: Isaya, wifey and children 

The Touma family isn’t a very good friend to Kaname Kuran. Composed of two siblings, they seem to master illusions. Only the brother is shown into the manga, attacking Yuuki and then was punished by Kaname.  Members: a brother and a sister

The Hio clan is a powerful and strict one. And they are infamous for high risks of going crazy (their family was quite restrincting, over-protecting their beloved Pureblood, keeping them into a golden cage). ++Shizuka++ was the first villian Hino displayed. She turned Zero into a Level D, after all, after killing his parents. It is later revealed that Rido, her fiancée, manipulated the Hunter guild to put Hino’s Level D lover on the list of the Kiryus. Ichiru was deeply in love with her. She has a distant relative, named Maria Kunerai. She masters at manipulating nature, making sakura trees bloomsom in winter.  Members known: Shizuka.

The Hanadagi was not very shown. However, they don’t seem to be really friendly. The whole family slept for 5 centuries before Sara woke them and kill the patriarch of the family, absorbing his power. Later, his wife is shown, and seems to be holding a grundge to Kaname Kuran.   Members: Father, Wife and possibly children. 

The least displayed Pureblood Family was the Ori clan. We didn’t see any members actually, we heard about Lord Ori, Sara’s fiancé, and he was killed a few chapters later. 

In general, Purebloods live for several millenias. And they either end up killed, or becoming mad. They are naturally quite wise, extremely manipulating people. They mostly don’t hesitate to use someone as pawns, after a few centuries of boredom. The vampire society centered around them didn’t make the things easier, as they were isolated from the other vampires, adored and feared by everyone. And that’s precisely for this they are so much interesting

(seriously, the villains were utterly badass.)

And that’s all ! If you want to add something, please leave a note :) Please, forgive my bad english, I’m french. So bear with me and my faults XD.
